My world has been shaken a little. I have NEVER seen my dad without a beard. He up and shaved on Christmas day. All of us were staring at him all day. He makes all of these facial expressions that we've never seen before. He looks like his brothers. There are all kinds of family resemblances glaring at me that I've never been able to see. I'm blown away that I've known and loved my dad all of these years and yet I never REALLY knew what he looked like. I seriously don't think I would have recognized him on the street at first glance. I might very well have walked right past him in Wal-mart. He looks more like a long lost uncle. I'm slowly getting used to it - still not all of the way there, but I actually really like it. Doesn't he look handsome?
